In 1819, the same year that Louis entered the Institution, Charles Barbier, an army captain, reported to the Academy of Sciences on a system of raised dots and dashes which enabled soldiers to read messages in the dark.Later, Barbier brought his invention to the Institution.After experimenting with it, young Braille produced a writing system using only dots, from which he gradually devised 63 separate combinations representing the letters in the French alphabet.At the request of an Englishman, he later added the letter “w”, accents and punctuation marks, and mathematical signs.Although government bureaucracy prevented immediate official adoption, his system was used at the Institution as long as the director, Dr.Pignier, was in office.Pignier’s successor insisted on returning to the officially approved former system, but students continued to use Braille's method secretly.Eventually, its superiority was established and it was adopted throughout France.

Actually, soaps are more than a college favorite; they're a youth favorite.When school is out, high-school students are in front of their TV sets.One young working woman admitted that she turned down a higher paying job rather than give up watching her favorite serials.During the 1960's, it was uncommon for young people to watch soap operas.The mood of the sixties was very different from now.It was a time of seriousness, and talk was about social issues of great importance.
Now, seriousness has been replaced by fun.Young people want to be happy.It may seem strange that they should turn to soap opera, which is known for showing trouble in people's lives.But soap opera is enjoyment.Young people can identify with the soap opera character, who, like the college-age viewer, is looking for happy love, and probably not finding it.And soap opera gives young people a chance to feel close to people without having to bear any responsibility for their problems.
